Thanks everyone it was Eddie Cochrane who died returning from the Bristol Hippodrome on 17 Apr 1960, when the car hit a tree in Chippenham.

wow...................... I have nothing to add, I just wanted to witness this

[Mamyalynne]

'Lamppost'

[boxtops]

Wow - thanks pk!! (confusing though when the Q said "in Bristol" when in fact he was on his way home, and it happened somewhere else)

[factor-fiction]

Thanks puzzleking123.
Yes he died and he was a rock and roll artist
But where does Bristol fit into it, where does mid-60s come into it and what's the tree got to do with anything?
Congratulations on getting over 100 responses though.

so, the tree wasn't in Bristol, and it wasn't in the mid 60s, do you see what you did there? Totally misled everyone? You're annoying.

[Marijn]

The car Eddie was in hit a lampost and he was thrown out of the car, perhaps that is when he hit the tree.

[factor-fiction]

...and maybe he landed in Bristol and they didn't find the body until 5 years later (mid 60s)

[Marijn]

That's it!! Factor 30, move over Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson :-)

[dotty.]

so it should have been:
Who died after crashing into a lamppost and then hitting a tree after leaving Bristol in 1960 and was a Rock and Roll star?

Think on next time PK, get your questions verified before posting them on AB.

....and what about the spaceship and the Reliant Robin?.........
